Description

At FOOD for Lane County's Youth Farm, limited-income teenagers participate in a summer educational program where they gain skills in organic agriculture, marketing, teamwork and leadership, and learn about the food system and good nutrition. The Youth Farmers assist in growing over 40 different kinds of organic fruits and vegetables, over half of which are donated to FOOD for Lane County, the local food bank. The rest is sold by the youth at an on-site and an off-site farm stand during the growing season and through a 135-member Community Supported Agriculture Program. We welcome volunteers of all ages, and have internships, a mentoring program, and community service hours available. The Youth Farmers also give great farm tours.
